</h1> <p>Adium calls it simply “notification”, and enables you to send and receive it.
</p> <p>The same information on this page is also presented in
<a href="http://adium.im/screencasts/?video=5">an Adium screencast
</a> on our website, which shows the feature in action.
</p> <div class="taskboxline"> <div class="taskboxheader"> <h3>Presenting notifications you receive
</h3> <div class="taskboxtext"> <p>When somebody nudges/buzzes you, the official clients will shake the window and play a sound.
</p> <p>We don't offer the window-shaking action, but we do provide our entire usual suite of event actions. You see, receiving a notification is in Adium as one of the events in the Preferences. You determine what Adium will do when one comes in.
</p> <p>In the
<strong>Events
</strong> pane of Adium's Preferences simply select the “Notification received” event in the list, click the
<strong>+
</strong> button, and choose the action you want Adium to perform. You can add as many actions as you want.
</p> <div class="taskboxline"> <div class="taskboxheader"> <h3>Sending notifications
</h3> <div class="taskboxtext"> <p>There are three ways to send a notification to one of your contacts:
</p> <li>The keyboard: Type “/nudge” / "/buzz" into the inputline and press Return or Enter.
</li> <li>The menu: Choose “Request Attention” from the Contact menu.
</li> <li>The toolbar: The “Request Attention” button is not on the chat window toolbar by default, so you need to add it.
<li>First, right-click on the chat window toolbar and choose “Customize Toolbar…”.
</li> <li>Drag the “Request Attention” button to the toolbar. Finally, click OK. From then on, when you want to send a notification, click “Request Attention” (or the shaking-emoticon icon if you're using Icon Only mode).
